Chatting— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more grammatically accurate and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and correct small errors (‘in random things’ → ‘about random things’). Limit to 2–3 sentences and add a specific detail to sound natural.

Ví dụ: Yes, I do. I usually chat with colleagues during office breaks about random topics, such as weekend plans or current events.

Gợi ý: Avoid negative or vague wording and improve grammar and specificity. Give a clear topic sentence then one or two specific examples. Use linking words for coherence (for example, ‘for instance’ or ‘often’).

Ví dụ: We often talk about work-related matters, for instance recent projects or any issues in the office; occasionally we also discuss light gossip about colleagues or managers.

Gợi ý: Good structure and clear contrast. Improve natural phrasing and tighten sentences. Use linking phrase (‘however’ or ‘whereas’) and correct minor style issues (‘speak with’ → ‘talk to’).

Ví dụ: It depends: if I want to discuss something private I’ll talk to one friend, whereas for casual conversation I prefer chatting in a small group.

Gợi ý: Correct grammar and clarity. State your preference directly then give a specific reason and an example. Fix errors (‘prefer communicate’ → ‘prefer to communicate’, unclear phrase ‘we have the same for a long time’).

Ví dụ: I prefer face-to-face communication for important matters because it’s clearer and more personal. However, I use social media to keep in touch with friends who live far away, especially those I haven’t seen for a long time.

Gợi ý: Good idea but improve grammar and conciseness. Start with a direct topic sentence, explain briefly why arguments happen, and give a result with a linking word (‘so’ or ‘which’). Avoid awkward phrasing (‘more developed’).

Ví dụ: Yes, occasionally I argue with colleagues because we have different opinions. I think it’s healthy, as it can lead to better solutions and a more dynamic work environment.

✓ I think it depends. If I want to chat privately, I will speak with only one friend; but if I want a casual chat, I will look for a group of people to join.

× I think it depends, I prefer communicate face to face when it comes to doing something important to someone.

× But on the other hand I think social media is good to chat with someone especially we have the same for a long time.

✓ On the other hand, I think social media is good for chatting with someone, especially if we have known each other for a long time.
